NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nysa Fund (“Fund”) is a non-diversified series of Nysa Series Trust (“Trust”), an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 20, 1996. The Fund was capitalized on February 18, 1997, when affiliates of Pinnacle Advisors LLC (“Adviser”) purchased the initial shares of the Fund at $10 per share. The Fund began the public offering of shares on May 12, 1997. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital growth.

The Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 946.

Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 2.

Option Writing - When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. A Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. See Note 5 for additional disclosure on the Fund's option transactions during the Fund’s six months ended September 30, 2016.

Investment Income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned.

Security Transactions – Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis.

Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends to shareholders from net investment income or capital gains, if any, are paid annually as required to comply with federal excise tax requirements. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events – Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events requiring disclosure.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund’s policy is to continue to comply with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies, and distribute all the Fund’s taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains if any, so that the Fund will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2013 – 2016) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2016 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and where the Fund makes significant investments. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

2. SECURITIES VALUATIONS

Processes and Structure

The Fund’s Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures for valuing securities, including the valuation of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for determining fair value prices to the Valuation Committee, subject to review and oversight by the Board of Trustees.

Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:

•

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access.

•

Level 2. Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

•

Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the company's own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security, and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Equity Securities (common stocks) - Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated (1) at the last quoted sales price (with securities traded on the NASDAQ NMS and Small Cap Markets valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price) or, in the absence of a sale, (2) at the last bid. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities (corporate bonds, structured notes and municipal bonds) - The fair value of fixed income securities is estimated using various techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (when observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. Although most fixed income securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances when lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in Level 3.

Short Term Investments - Short term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These securities will be categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments (equity options) – Listed derivatives that are actively traded, and valuations adjustments are not applied, are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are generally acquired directly or indirectly from an issuer in a nonpublic offering. Because restricted securities are generally subject to restrictions or transfer, market quotations for such securities are generally not readily available, and they are considered to be illiquid securities. The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has adopted Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures that, among other things, provide guidelines for the valuation of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available (“Valuation Procedures”). The Valuation Procedures delegate the responsibility for determining the fair value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available to a Valuation Committee, subject to review and oversight by the Board of Trustees (“Board”). Under circumstances where the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by a pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, such securities are also valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, subject to review and oversight by Board of Trustees. Restricted securities are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2016:


	Financial Instruments—Assets
Categories *	*Level 1*	*Level 2*	*Level 3*	*Fair Value*

Common Stocks	$1,325,015	$ -	$ 450,577	$1,775,592
Municipal Bonds	-	48,106	-	48,106
Money Market Fund	5,941	-	-	5,941
	$1,330,956	$ 48,106	$ 450,577	$1,829,639


	Financial Instruments—Liabilities

Total	$ 7,140	-	-	$ 7,140

* See the Fund’s schedule of investments for details on investments and industry categories.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Fund’s Level 3 investments for the six months ended September 30, 2016:


		Common Stocks
Balance Beginning at April 1, 2016		$ 450,577
Net Realized Gain/(Loss) on Sale of Investments		-
Net Purchases and Sales		-
Balance End at September 30, 2016		$ 450,577

The total change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) included in the statement of operations attributable to level 3 investments still held at September 30, 2016 was $0.

There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the period. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 at the end of the reporting period.

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term investments, amounted to $101,324 and $110,185, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2016.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Advisory Agreement - Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (“Agreement”), the Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser a fee, which is computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets up to $100 million; 0.95% of such assets from $100 million to $200 million; and 0.85% of such assets in excess of $200 million. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee pursuant to a contractual fee waiver arrangement will remain in effect until at least July 24, 2017.

Portfolio Transactions - Commissions paid by the Fund are based on the per transaction commission charge then in effect for the execution of a transaction for the Fund by the investment adviser. Commissions paid to Pinnacle Investments, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, amounted to $790, during the six months ended September 30, 2016. The Fund has adopted policies and procedures which, subject to its duty of best execution and compliance with Rule 17e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, permits the Adviser to execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund through Pinnacle Investments, Inc.

Implementation of a Service Fee Plan - The Fund has adopted a Service Fee Plan, pursuant to which the Fund is permitted to incur expenses of up to 0.25% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the Service Fee Plan, the Fund is permitted to reimburse Pinnacle Investments, LLC, the Underwriter, for a portion of its expenses incurred in servicing shareholder accounts, and Pinnacle Investments, LLC is authorized to pay certain "recipients" as defined therein, for rendering services and for the maintenance of accounts. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, $2,403 was earned by the Underwriter for reimbursement of expenses in connection with shareholder accounts. At September 30, 2016, $5,040 in Service Fees was outstanding.

5. OPTIONS

As of September 30, 2016 the Fund had outstanding written call options valued at $7,140. Transactions in written call options during the six months ended September 30, 2016 were as follows:


	Number of	Premiums
	Contracts	Received
Options outstanding at March 31, 2016	50	$ 1,710
Options written	288	14,496
Options exercised	(-)	(-)
Options expired	(191)	(9,381)
Options terminated in closing purchase transaction	(-)	(-)
Options outstanding at September 30, 2016	147	$ 6,825

Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives contracts entered into during the six months ended September 30, 2016, by the Fund, are recorded in the following locations in the statement of operations:

Location

Realized

Gain/(Loss)

Location

Unrealized

Gain/(Loss)

Options Written

Realized Gain on Options Written

$9,385

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Options Written

$(2,639)

The selling of written call options may tend to reduce the volatility of the Fund because the premiums received from selling the options will reduce any losses on the underlying securities, but only by the amount of the premiums. However, selling the options may also limit the Fund’s gain on the underlying securities. Written call options expose the Fund to minimal counterparty risk since they are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearing house guarantees the options against default.

6. CONTROL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities shares of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of September 30, 2016, First Clearing LLC, for the benefit of others, in aggregate owned approximately 79.22% shares of the Fund.

7. OTHER INVESTMENTS

Restricted Securities – On four different occasions (September 14, 2007 34,000 shares, April 8, 2008 17,000 shares, July 24, 2008 16,666 shares, and June 8, 2009 16,666 shares), the Fund purchased 84,332 shares of Transluminal Technologies, LLC in offerings that were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As such, these shares are subject to restrictions such as transferability and market quotations that are not readily available for the purpose of valuing this portfolio holding. As of September 30, 2016, the Board valued the shares of Transluminal Technologies, LLC at $4.75 per share, having taken into consideration certain pertinent factors, including the results of operations and any recent offerings of Transluminal Technologies, LLC. Because there are no market quotations for this security, it is possible that the valuation assigned by the Board may differ significantly from the amount that might be ultimately realized in near term and the difference could be material.

On April 22, 2014, the Fund also purchased a security from Central New York Raceway Park, Inc. in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, originally in the amount of $50,000. As such, the shares are subject to restrictions such as transferability and market quotations that are not readily available for the purpose of valuing this portfolio holding. As of September 30, 2016, the Board valued the shares of Central New York Raceway Park, Inc. at $2.00 per share, having taken into consideration certain pertinent factors, including the results of operations and any recent offerings of Central New York Raceway Park, Inc. Because there are no market quotations for this security, it is possible that the valuation assigned by the Board may differ significantly from the amount that might be ultimately realized in near term and the difference could be material.

As of September 30, 2016, the percentage of the Fund’s total net assets represented by illiquid securities was 25.06%. The Fund may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. However, as noted in the Fund’s prospectus dated as of July 25, 2016, the 15% limitation is not violated unless the excess results immediately and directly from the acquisition of any security, and the Fund’s investments in illiquid securities may, from time to time, exceed 15% of its net assets. The Fund’s percentage of total assets represented by illiquid securities as of September 30, 2016: (i) did not result from the acquisition of any security; and (ii) was the result of changes in the fair value of securities held by the Fund.

8. INCOME TAXES

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Fund’s tax basis capital gains and losses and undistributed ordinary income are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of March 31, 2016 the Fund’s most recent fiscal year-end, components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Post December net investment loss

$ (18,543)

Post-October Capital Loss Deferrals

(241,569)

Net Unrealized Appreciation

432,986

Capital loss carryforwards:

Expiring 3/31/18

(574,625)

Indefinite short-term

(287,393)

Indefinite long-term

(1,398,838)

Total Distributable Earnings

$ (2,087,982)

The undistributed ordinary income (loss) and capital gains (losses) shown may differ from corresponding accumulated net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) reported on the statement of assets and liabilities. The accumulated net realized losses reported on the statement of assets and liabilities differ from the above due to the deferral of late year losses.

Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31^st and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31^st may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following year. The Fund’s carryforward losses, post-October losses and post-December losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of March 31, 2016 the Fund elected to defer post December net investment loss in the amount of $(18,543) and defer capital losses in the amounts of ($241,569). The capital loss carry forward will be used to offset any capital gains realized by the Fund in future years through the expiration date. The Fund will not make distributions from capital gains while a capital loss carry forward remains.

As of March 31, 2016, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities (not including options) were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities

$ 786,137

Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities

(353,151)

Net unrealized appreciation on investment securities

$ 432,986

Tax cost of investment securities, including short-term investments $ 1,430,214

+ The capital loss carryforward will be used to offset any capital gains realized by the Fund in future years through the expiration date. The Fund will not make distributions from capital gains while a capital loss carryforward remains.

9. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value shares of separate series. The total paid-in-capital was $3,934,072, as of September 30, 2016. Transactions in capital for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended March 31, 2016 were as follows:


	Six Months Ended September 30, 2016		Year Ended March 31, 2016
	Shares	Amount	Shares	Amount
Shares sold	3,649	$ 16,171	31,502	$ 145,134
Shares redeemed	(3,181)	(14,691)	(14,645)	(64,487)
Net increase	468	$ 1,480	16,857	$ 80,647

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Nysa Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees, transactional fees, and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, April 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.


	Beginning Account Value	Ending Account Value	Expenses Paid During the Period*
	April 1, 2016	September 30, 2016	April 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016

Actual	$1,000.00	$974.30	$26.87
Hypothetical
(5% Annual Return before expenses)	$1,000.00	$997.84	$27.19



* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 5.43%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
